Thread: link setup

the coilovers on the rear of this truck seem to be mounted on the inside of the frame rails....i believe HnM did it? does anybody have any closer pics of how the coilovers are connected to the links...thanks

My closest guess would be because he wasnt running a 9" rear....probably stock. Because them damn toyoter frames are wider than Rangers so inside the frame rails is where some people have to run em in that situation.

Then I could just be talking out my ass

.....

Those tires are too small Helton hahaha

Nice cad work!

how effective is that setup that helton drew?

the bk fabworks taco runs thiers inside the frame rails as well and seems to work like a champ.

I love that truck...fast as hell.

how much travel does that have in the rear there

3-Link rear nets just over 30" of wheel travel.

has anybody done a setup like that on a ranger? or are the frame's not wide enough

The BK fabworks yota is actually done sorta like that, just not as extreme as helton drew. They said it reduced body roll like this, just an unusual way of doing it, and it works really well, as you can tell.....

There is no reason, the reasoning behind it is because they cannot clear the frame rails running the shocks on the outside of the yota frames, so they have to run em' inside. I guess you could put the shocks on the inside of the ranger frame...wouldnt work well.

im pretty sure the didnt run it outside on the bk due to width specifications from score. in order to place the c/o's outside the frame rails, they would have to run a wider rear end which would probably be too wide to stay within score regulations, or too wide as compared to the front (78'' wide)

here is the video of the BK fabworks class 7 yota
